The Pattern Library

In plain words

The Pattern Library is a free web app that collects design patterns contributed by professional designers for use in creative projects. It serves as a resource for designers and creatives looking for reusable visual patterns to incorporate into their work. The platform compiles an ongoing collection of patterns shared by the design community, making them freely available to anyone who wants to use them in their designs.
